you know the Irish love 3 things, mostly - God, beer and the Irish... (in fact, they say God created beer to prevent the Irish from dominating the world!) I'm sharing an Irish joke first, then a toast. hope you like them (and if you have some, post them!)

Irish joke: McQuillan walked into a bar and ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar. When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, he started to leave.

"S'cuse me," said a customer, who was puzzled over what McQuillan had done. "What was that all about?"

"Nothing," he replied, "my wife just sent me out for a jar of olives."

Toast:Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold pint-- and another one!

Special comment about it... If you like good Irish-style beer, don't miss Antares -Porter, the dark one, and Scotch, the red wine... sublime! Antares beer is "home-brewed" in Mar del Plata, but now there are two more Antares bars, one in La Plata and in one in Palermo (since October!) Check them out!

Celtic music

Hey, Laura, I also like Celtic culture, but specially Celtic music.
I actually play in a Celtic Band, where we do mostly Irish, but also some songs of ours, and some Breton (from Bretagne) music. I play the flute and tin whistle, also a little bodhran.
No metal for me, neither. I really like Clannad, but the early Clannad, then it got a little New Age for my taste. Then you must have heard Triona, she's absolutely great. She was in The Bothy Band in the 70s, then as a soloist. And the Bretons of Kornog, they are really good, too.
Your jokes are really nice

A friend of mine is a huge fan of Celtic culture. In fact, he is in Dublin right now... So he taught me a lot of things of ireland and I started to like their music, their beer and their stories. I used to go to Druid Inn a lot, too!

Does anybody here know something about Celtic numbers? I know someone who wants to use them for a tatto, but she can't find them...
